DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle wood floor repair in Becontree
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and burns, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Becontree
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

Becontree questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Becontree and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
